This film is taking two kids from South Africa to represent the global homeless issue as it is similar in all cities, some more drastic than others. So that is what Angels In Exile does…represents the global homeless youth crisis through an intimate journey of two children! Your problems are remedied thanks to Angels In Exile!

Charlize Theron probably gets the Gold Medal for talented, cool, funny and ineffably gorgeous actresses in the Biz. She is one of the few in our industry who has her shit together but manages to be a kick in the ass to hang out with. It’s almost insane and wildly unfair that someone so smart, well spoken, conversant on so much stuff, from politics to international affairs, also has THESE knock-out looks. But hell — that’s Charlize. Many an actress should take a page from her book on how to sustain a terrific career, be responsible and law abiding and, most of all, not be ass (in private as well as the tabloids!) Nice to see she is throwing her weight behind the youth homelessness cause.

its great to see ‘ Charlize Theron behind street children especially in her native country, its a big problem and worse the government has hidden it under carpet..instead resort to force removal of the kids from the streets, they beat and throw them far away where they think they wont come back to town, im a former streetchild and i was fortunate to be part of the group to help the movie director Billy Raftery to go deep into the streets where nobody ever went.
